Now that autumn is finally here (YAY!) it's time to start breaking out the baked oatmeal on a regular basis. I love it because it's quick, healthy, and delicious. Let the kids pick what they want to put in it, experimenting with various fruits and/or nuts. I have also included a recipe for apple-cinnamon topping, which is delightful.

1) Mix oatmeal and boiling water in a large bowl. Let stand 15 minutes.2) Add all other ingredients. Mix well.3) Spread in greased 9x13 pan.4) Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.5) Serve warm with either fruit, nuts, milk, sugar, or apple-cinnamon topping.

1) Heat water, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small pot.2) Add sliced apples.3) Cook slowly for 5 minutes or until apples are tender.4) Thicken with cornstarch and water mixture. Cook until thickened.5) Serve warm over baked oatmeal.
